And the Two Shan't Meet

I've mentioned frequently how we are very adamant that shooting firearms and enjoying alcoholic beverages have a relationship that must be properly ordered. Often I find myself skipping a chance for a beer, simply because I might shoot later in the day. However, I firmly believe a good beer tastes even better after a day at the range.

Recently I was enjoying a beer at the pub with a friend and he lamented, "I have a project I wanted to work on today, but table saws and beer don't mix." I could empathize with his quandary.

"Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility."-- Catechism of the Catholic Church #2265
